 * Have a [certificate](https://support.cloud.engineyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/205407488-Obtain-and-Install-SSL-Certificates-for-Applications#topic8) applied to the [environment](https://support.cloud.engineyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/205407488-Obtain-and-Install-SSL-Certificates-for-Applications#topic12) 
 
+* Have the application deployed successfully
 
 **Environment Variables**
 
 There are several environmental variables needed to be used with the LetsEncrypt recipe. To enable the recipe set `EY_LETSENCRYPT_ENABLED` to `TRUE`. This will install certbot on all application instances
 
+
+**SAN Certificate Setup**
+
 To automatically create a certificate or SAN certiciate:
 
-* Make sure a certificate is applied to the environment using the documentation above. This certificate will be for configuration reasons only and not seen by visitors, so can be a self-signed one, with a name that highlights letsencrypt's use, e.g. `using-letsencrypt`
-* Set the environmental variable `EY_LE_MAIN_DOMAIN` as your main domain e.g. `Engineyard.com`
+* Make sure a certificate is applied to the environment using the documentation above. This certificate will be for configuration reasons only and not seen by visitors, so can be a self-signed one, with a name that highlights letsencrypts use, e.g. `using-letsencrypt`
 * Set the environment variable `EY_LE_DOMAINS` with any additional domains seperated with a space. The main domain **must** come first e.g. `Engineyard.com www.Engineyard.com Example.com`
+* 
+
 
+**Wildcard Certificate Setup**
 
+To automatically create a wildcard certificate
+
+* Make sure a certificate is applied to the environment using the documentation above. This certificate will be for configuration reasons only and not seen by visitors, so can be a self-signed one, with a name that highlights letsencrypts use, e.g. `using-letsencrypt`
+* Set the environment variable `EY_LE_DOMAINS` with the domain you wish to set up e.g. `*.engineyard.com`
+* Set the environment variable `EY_LE_USE_WILDCARD` to `TRUE`
+* Set the environment variable `EY_LE_DNS_TYPE` to one of the supported DNS providers listed below
+* Set the environemnt variable `EY_LE_DNS_AUTH_INFO` to the API information for said DNS provider. The formatting can be found under the third party documentation link
 
 
 **Notes**
 
 * If you're using a multi-application environment setup set the variable `EY_LE_MAIN_APP_NAME` to the application you wish to use LetsEncrypt with
-* `www` is not included so you may wish to use `www.example.com` and `example.com`
 
+* `www` is not included so you may wish to use `www.example.com` and `example.com` if you're using a SAN certificate
+
+* Route53 provider (AWS). Requires the custom variable `AWS_CONFIG_FILE` to be set as `/opt/.letsencrypt-secrets`
